IN FACT... and I have to type this in caps...IF THE YUSHONG VONG (SP) CAN NOT BE AFFECTED BY THE FORCE BECAUSE THEY ARE FROM ANOTHER GALAXY THEN WHY WOULD THE STAR TREK UNIVERSE BE AFFECTED BY THE FORCE? Logic would dictate that if the force does not affect beings from outside the SW galaxy like the Yushong Vong then why would it have any affect on the ST universe...
SOOOOOOO.... I think we can eliminate the Force as an effective weapon... Just like the Vong, the Jedi / Sith would not be able to sense the cloaked ST ships... Humm....
The Vong were a shitty add-on the SW universe, since they have organic superiority which is sci fi hogwash. And the Force exists in all living things by defination and around them. The peoples of the SW universe would be a source to draw on all by themselves. If a Jedi can use the Force on something like a lifeless rock or a droid, they can use it to effectively maim an ST character.
Now, I dislike the Vong for numerous reason. One is that they can't be affected by the Force. This serves only to make them a threat, not because it makes sense. Also, organic technology just blows. If the Death Star can blow a planet up, and a Stardestroyer can glass one by itself, the Vong's ships shouldn't have a damn chance, period. Unless they import their own physics too. Seriously, the Vong undermine so much I actually am surprised they haven't been overturned even as quasi-canon.
Next, St isn't technologically more advanced. They're inferior. Why? It's simple- technology that is thousands of years in the making in regards to space travel versus what? Half a millenia tops? Time is against ST. Their ships are not very combat oriented, and ST has shit for ground troops. If it came to boarding parties, ST would be pwned so bad it would make the reruns wince in pain.
And as for not being able to sense cloaked enemies, there are ways around that. A blanketed shield generator like the kind over Nal Hutta could effectively keep any cloaked enemies at bay, and unconventional things like chaff launchers could scramble the ST ships' sensors. Add on to the fact that SW ships in general are larger and more numerous than St ships, have more firepower and a greater firing range and rate, and it's checkmate. No getting around it. ST loses any conventional battle, unless one falls on the Trekkie logic of Q wins all..
